i had 10 tiger barbs in my 55 gal with a albino rainbow shark, an angel fish, 2 convict cichlids, 2 blue mystery snails, 2 striped raphael cats, 1 pleco, and one striped peacock eel, all fish are still pretty young the 2 cichlids havnt quite hit sexual maturity but they will be there soon. anyway i decided on buying ghost shrimp for my eel to eat but i didnt count on all the tiger barbs to have a feast as well and since i dont have a seperate holding tank i was kinda forced to leave the shrimp in there. 30 mins or so after i added the shrimp the 1st tiger dies about 2 hrs later the next one dies off to bed i go and wake up to 3 more dead tigers. what could be going on? im assuming they are choking or something has anyone ever had this problem before? any input would be very much appreciated
